Frederik Andersen and John Gibson won the William M. Jennings Trophy last year. It’s a funny old thing that goes to goalies, but is based on team goals against, not the goalies’ GAA.
This year the award is going to Braden Holtby. Phillipp Grubauer would share it if he’d only played two more games. The Washington Capitals had a meagre 177 goals against this season, while the second best team, the Columbus Blue Jackets, had 193.
The Vezina is more of a best goalie award, and it is voted on by the General Managers of all the teams in a ranked ballot.
